Kanye West Made This Fan's Day

Kanye West Sent A Fan A Pair Of Yeezys Along With A Heartwarming Note

Kanye West may boast a major music career, fashion line, and seat in the Kardashian empire, but when it comes to the people he admires, West looks no further than his fans. According to TMZ, the "Black Skinhead" rapper was so inspired by the story of one of his own fans that he sent the young man a pair of Yeezy sneakers.

While plenty of people would love to get their hands on a pair of Yeezys, the reason why West sent this particular gift is very personal to fanTyler Wesley's story. Five years ago, TMZ reports that Wesley was involved in a bad car accident. A C-4 vertebrae break on his neck left Wesley paralyzed from the shoulders down. Doctors told Wesley he wouldn't walk again — yet, today, he's working on making progress. He can even take steps with the help of a therapist, and has shared his journey — including his walking therapies — in videos on his Instagram page.

West learned of Wesley's story, and decided to send him a pair of Yeezys to help him continue on his walking journey. Wesley posted a photo of the sneakers along with the note that West sent him, which reads:

"Tyler, you are an inspiration. You show the world that anything is possible. Thank you for sharing your journey. Kanye West."
